In the Abyss of My Heart...

 


Within my heart's deep, uncharted well,
A love untold, a tale I long to spell.
Emotions veiled, like secrets in the night,
I yearn to confess, to bring them to light.

Time slips through my desperate grasp,
Moments fleeting, like a river's rapid rasp.
Abandoned by time, I stand alone,
Enshrouded in melancholy's heavy tone.

Loneliness cloaks me, a weighty veil,
As life's jest unfolds, a bittersweet tale.
I watch as the world dances on its stage,
A mere bystander, lost in love's cage.

Oh, how I wish I'd seized that fleeting chance,
To declare my devotion, take a bold stance.
Regrets now trace their tearful path,
As life's final act draws near, its aftermath.

Yet, I cling to memories woven with care,
Cherishing love once rare, now a whispered prayer.
Though sadness and solitude hold me tight,
My heart beats on, fueled by hope's soft light.
